===November 5===
* Took the day off.
* Teasing out the appropriate interpretation of behavioral screening assays for ''C. elegans''. How do you differentiate if a drug effect is analgesic, paralytic, sedative/hypnotic, or amnestic?
** Can they be paralyzed with rocuronium? Would it be fatal?
** Do worms sleep? When? How long? How do you know? What are several ways you might wake them up?
** What are some learning/memory assays in worms that don't require movement?
** Paralyze the worms and then see if you can teach them something (e.g. to associate a sound or light with an aversive stimulus)
** Repeat the experiment with propofol, which we know decreases locomotion.
